Where do you love to shop in Chicago?
"I love going down to Michigan Avenue and walking into the Chanel, LV, Escada, etc. stores. I pay close attention to the way they display their items, what colors and fabrics are in style. It's funny how what we see depends on what we look for. I used to shop for clothes and that is all I saw. Now when I walk into the stores I see the displays, light fixtures, staff, flooring, etc. I see all of the 'behind the scenes' instead of what is on the rack. I'm ruined forever when it comes to simply walking into a store and just plain 'ol shopping. I hope that's not long term!"

What is your favorite item for sale in your store right now?
"Right now my favorite item is a pair of black patent leather Chanel boots from the '60s! They are AMAZINGGGGGG!"
